KNOGKDOWN TABLE.

Application filed August 24, 1926. Serial No. 131,178.

This invention relates to tables and more particularly to kitchen tablesthat are of knock-clown construction.

One of the objects or the invention is to provide a table that is easilyand quickly assembled or disassembled for moving or transportation.

A further object is in the provision of connecting means whereby thetable may M be made of wood or metal.

These and other objects are accomplished by the novel construction,combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described andillustrated in the accompanying draw- 5 ing, forming a material part ofthis disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a partial sectional partialfront elevational view of a table constructed in accordance with thepreferred form of this invention.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary bottom plan view thereof.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the connection element, drawn to anincreased scale.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing a modification of thesame.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary partial sec tional view taken at right anglesto Figure 4.

In the drawing, the numeral generally designates the wooden legs of atable to which is secured on the inner sides a pair of flattened tubebrackets 11 having a slot 12 through one side extending nearly along itsentire length and openings 13 in the x5 opposite side by which theelement is fastened to the legs. I

Engageable in the slot 12 to seat on the bottom thereof is a U-shapedkeeper 14 secured through openings 15 to side pieces 16,

40 rear elements 17 and front members 18, the front and rear memberscarrying angled guides 19 on which is slidable a plurality of drawers20.

Passing through the side pieces, at suitable locations are bolts 21engageable with wing nuts 22, the heads 23 of the bolts beingcountersunk in a cross-piece 24 flush with the front and rear elements18 and 17 respectively and on which a metal table top 25 may be securedby screws 26 passing therethrough.

Thus it may be seen that the table is of knock-down construction and iseasily taken apart or reassembled by merely raising the top 25 anddisengaging the keepers 14 from x the brackets 11.

In Figures 4 and 5, a metal table top 30 is secured by screws 31 to awooden-crosspiece 32.

Fixed by bolts 34 to the cross-piece 32 is a metal channel-shaped member33 having at its ends substantially at right angles thereto, an element35 bent partially back on itself at 36 to engage in slots 37 formedvertically in the inner sides of hollow metal legs 38, the front piece39 also of channel cross section having similar elements 35'.

Thus it may be seen that a substantially all-metal table has beendisclosed that is of knockdown construction and which is quickly andeasily operated.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that a simple device for the purposesintended has been described and it is to be understood that it is notintended that this be interpreted as limitative, as changes inconstruction may be made without departing from the scope of theappended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

A demountable table comprising a plurality of legs, partially slottedflattened tube brackets secured to said legs, U-shaped keepers fixed tothe side, front and rear members of the table and means in the sidepieces to firmly secure the table top thereon.

In witness whereof I have affixed my signature. 1 ABRAHAM WEXELMAN.
